I'm trying to build
TERM::ReadLine::Gnu and have been getting two types of failures.
First -- when the ".a" library was present it tried to link
to it w/o success -- not sure why it tried linking to the ".a"
over the ".so", since I didn't specify "static" but built perl
with "-shared". Isn't the ".a" only for static links?
The CPAN build looked like:

================================================================================
Of note, above, was the blib/.../XS.pm statement of:
some names are not unique when truncated to 8 characters:
directory blib/lib/auto/Term/ReadLine/Gnu/XS:
rl_bind_key.al, rl_bind_key_if_unbound.al, rl_bind_keyseq.al,
rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound.al truncate to rl_bind_
rl_set_keymap.al, rl_set_key.al truncate to rl_set_k
--------
It's not likely these names will ever be under 8 characters, 8
characters seems
a bit "MS-DOSish"... I don't know how C++ names would ever resolved
with the
type-info encoded on the end of a symbol -- isn't there some way to increase
the matching limit? In addition to those errors, I don't think fPIC is
going to work with a static lib, so still not sure why it chose
".a" over ".so". So renamed the ".a" file and ended up with:

================================================================================
In this one, it linked, but with the "too-short symbols", and,
unsurprisingly,
it failed as well -- since I'm fairly sure the bit about using
only 8-chars for linking is anachronistic besides being likely
to cause a fail for many links.
It seems the common fail part of trying to link with symbols that are too
short, seems to be the problem.
Any idea why this module would be triggering an 8-char link limit?
I find it hard to believe all the rest of the modules I've installed
and linked all fit under 8-chars, so I think it likely they used more
than 8-chars, any idea what would be triggering such a limit in this
situation?
Also as shows below, perl is linked shared. Why would it try for a
static linkage when the modules should be built for shared as well?
